Features
The Antenna Sensor Loops are used to induce the signal of the transmitter (TX) to the receiver (RX).
The transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) shoes are positioned at the bottom of the conveyor belt.
When the conveyor is running, the Antenna Sensor Loop moves past the TX and RX shoes and the signal is injected into the loop from the transmitter (TX), then detected by the receiver (RX) indicating a healthy Antenna Sensor Loop / No rip detected reading.
Should the Antenna Sensor Loop be cut or damaged by any foreign body, no signal will be transmitted by the damaged loop and the receiver sensor does not receive the system’s sequence signal and thus shuts off the conveyor drive, thereby limiting damage to the conveyor belt.
